The TRP-channel painless mediates substrate stiffness sensing in the legs during Drosophila oviposition

Vijayaditya Ray, Lasse B. Bräcker, Alexandros Kourtidis, Charlotte Rosher, Gesa F. Dinges, Anna Pierzchlińska, Ansgar Büschges, Kai Feng, Kevin M. Cury, Nicolas Gompel

This study identifies a TrpA channel-dependent mechanosensory pathway in Drosophila legs that mediates substrate stiffness sensing during oviposition.

Avoidance engages dopaminergic punishment in Drosophila

Fatima Amin, Jasmine T. Stone, Christian König, Nino Mancini, Kazuma Murakami, Salil S. Bidaye, M.‐Marcel Heim, David Owald, Utsab Majumder, Ilona C Grunwald Kadow, Anna Pierzchlińska, Ashok Litwin-Kumar, Oliver Barnstedt, Bertram Gerber

The paper shows that inducing backward movement in Drosophila engages dopaminergic punishment and supports aversive memories, explaining the avoidance paradox.
